Question

(a) A car travels from A to B and returns to its original position.
The distance between A and B is 2000 m.
(i) Find the total displacement of the car.
(ii) The car takes 5 min to travel from A to B but takes 8 min to travel back
from 5 to A. Is the speed of the cor greater while going from A to B or while
travelling back from B to A?
(iii) When can the magnitude of distance and displacement be equal for a body
in motion?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) As it returns to its original position, it's displacement will be zero.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total displacement =0m as the car returns to its original position.

The speed of car going from A to B was higher as it takes less time.

Distance= 2×2000m=4000m

Displacement =0m
